QUINCY, Mass. -- A water main break has delayed a trial scheduled Wednesday for New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers on allegations that he shoved his girlfriend's head into a wall and repeatedly choked her after she received a phone call while they were in bed together.
Peppers, 29, faces charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a Class B substance believed to be cocaine, court documents show.
He was scheduled to appear in court in Quincy, Massachusetts, but the court was closed following a water main break, the clerk's office said Wednesday morning.
